Author Topic: poison ivy PaulCat Player Member # 513 posted 07-26-2019 02:57 PM                    I've had it for about two weeks now and it SUCKS! Just when I think it's all gone a new spot pops up. It's unreal. The only really troubling spot is right on my waistline. But Calamine lotion lets me sleep through the night.

There is a product called tecnu outdoor skin cleanser....some people swear by it.....that it washes off the oils....this is to use before you catch it....

Hopefully it'll be gone soon. I just can't take Benadryl - that stuff knocks me the heck out! I did get a cortisone shot by the chiropractor. That seemed to help. There's something at CVS that's supposed to knock poison ivy down and out on day 1. But it was $46 for a small bottle. That's no typo - it was $46. I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much.

I hate poison ivy. Sorry you are suffering from it, but surely you are near the end of the torment. -------------------- Tiptree “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” Thomas Jefferson Posts: 13672 | From: Terre Haute, IN | Registered: Sep 2000  |  IP: Logged catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 07-28-2019 10:13 AM                     I hope Tip is right as i know you have been going thru hell as I have had it too and know it's miserable and only time will heal. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186363 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged PaulCat Player Member # 513 posted 07-28-2019 06:50 PM                    Today was a good day - no itching! Hopefully it's all over now. I went thru almost an entire bottle of Calamine lotion. Posts: 10359 | From: Erlanger, Ky. USA | Registered: Mar 2000  |  IP: Logged
